When I woke this morning, I was wholly prepared to celebrate an interesting assortment of musical birthdays during my air shift this afternoon. Then I learned that conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky died over the weekend. The legendary conductor was 87 years-old. I’m still processing the information, but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if a lot of the playlist will be devoted to his memory. Tune in from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, to WWFM – The Classical Network or wwfm.org.
